Citing "sources," Kotaku reports that BioWare's upcoming Shadow Realms is undergoing major pre-release changes, and "may have totally been rebooted." This is actually a mix of rumors, as they say two "industry sources" tell them the episodic action/RPG was cancelled outright, while word that it is actually being reworked comes from a "third, reliable source familiar with goings-on." This third source says the game was rebooted in October to add a full campaign, and that a release is slated for Windows, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 in 2017. The game's announcement specified an Origin account was required to sign up for the alpha, but a major portion of the article discusses the possibility that the game is being reworked with greater integration of Origin, as one of their sources tells them that BioWare is taking a lesson from the failure of Dawngate and Command & Conquer, two games that could have had higher budgets if they had further integrated EA's online service. They add a confirmation from a "different person connected to EA" that Origin integration will earn a game a larger budget from EA.
